The joy of being a Hamburg supporter has returned to my life...
On Monday, Hamburg got thrashed 4-1 by 3rd division side Dynamo Dresden in the first round of the DFB Pokal. Following this embarrassing result, a Hamburg player jumped into the crowd to confront a Dresden supporter. The player will likely be fined and/or suspended, but also is now required to quarantine because he left the safety of the field.

Today, HSV opened up their Bundesliga 2 regular season at home against Fortuna Düsseldorf. They got out to a 2-0 lead, but Hamburg usually makes the final 5-10 minutes of any match an adventure. After Fortuna went down to 10 men after a player picked up a second yellow, the visitors were still able to score inside of two minutes, and very nearly tied the game a few moments later.
Hamburg held on to win 2-1, and they now top the Bundesliga 2 table. You really can’t make this stuff up...
